I've done exactly what Nick did, but when I clicked on the link, it didn't do anything. Any help?
PS: The '*'' aren't what I typed in my actual code. I just put them there instead of my real email.

I don't see anything wrong with your code, assuming the actual email address is valid.

Perhaps you have not set a default mail handler for your system.
Usually, when you run your mail program, there will be an option to make it be the default mail handler.
See if your email pops up from this test email link.
